Crash Tests in Side Positioning Build on Outcomes of Previous Upright Position Testing

PASADENA, Calif.—August 13, 2019—Sleepypod®, a Pasadena-based company known for redefining pet products, today presents new crash test research. Crash tests were performed to assess the effectiveness of Sleepypod’s Clickit Terrain car safety harness in restraining a pet while positioned in a side lounging position. These tests build on Sleepypod crash test research of a pet in an upright seated position.

Earlier Testing in Upright Seated PositionPrevious crash test research by Sleepypod using its proprietary DUKE line of crash test dogs was performed with the crash test dog in a seated position. These earlier tests demonstrated the Clickit Terrain safety harness was successful in achieving Sleepypod’s criteria of keeping the crash test dog on the seat bench for the duration of the test while controlling rotation of the pet.

More than half of owners do not take their cat to vet for regular checkups

ST. CHARLES, Mo., Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- No one can question our love of cats (and cat memes), but that love isn't translating into visits to the vet. While 92 percent of cat owners agree that their cat's health is important to them, only 41 percent take their cat to the vet for regular checkups, according to a new survey from Royal Canin, a pet nutrition company.1 In fact, only one cat is seen by a veterinarian for every five dogs, despite the fact that 10 million more cats are owned in the United States.2

"Busy TICA cat-owners demand products that are not only versatile but also exceptional enough to safeguard the pets that mean so much to us," said TICA President Vickie Fisher. "Whether in the car or plane and everywhere in between, Sleepypod has created a line of innovative, well-designed and functional products with features known to keep your cat protected and relaxed."
